At 14:21 Ariel gives Tommy a kiss on the cheek! Tommy told Ariel her story as The Little Mermaid, and Ariel laughed and listened and shared in the joy of her story! Thanks, Ariel, for the magical moments at the castle :)
thecplman1 Disney Princess Ariel,hands down. Cinderella,Snow White and Megara,they are beautiful,but all of the Disney Princesses are no match for Disney Princess Ariel.
The character cast members are truly special and incredible people working at (all the) Disney parks. (This) Ariel is a wonderful lady, and with all the guest variables they have to contend with as they appear in the park, they still retain their character, with such grace and professionalism. Not easy to do while on stage in the park.
I've watched a few of these videos and I can honestly say that nothing warms my heart more than watching Ariel interact with Tommy. She was so patient and kind. My cousins are autistic and I hope they grow up to be as sweet and intelligent and cute as Tommy. He is a wonderful person and so sweet and loving. And I give props to the actress who played Ariel for being a true Disney princess and making Disney magical for Tommy like a true Disney experience should be. This is a beautiful video. I hope to see more:)
As an elementary school teacher, I've had a lot of experience with children with autism and it's so refreshing to see someone like Tommy - who proves that these children can grow into truly awesome and wonderful people.
Ariel is a gem here, similar to the rest of Tommy's awesome videos this one is just great! Mr. Des Brisay, if you get the chance to read this please don't ever change; You're a beautiful, one of a kind human being and simply watching a video of you at Disney can nearly bring me to tears. Rock on
It must've been a great experience for her as an actor to come across someone so invested in the character's story. If I had been her I would've listened to Tommy talk all day.
Hi Melissa, This is Tommy's mom! Thanks for your kind words :) I'm happy you enjoy the videos. When Tommy was younger, he was overwhelmed by crowds, noise, excitement. He went to Disneyland at age 5 and lasted only 2 hours in the park, melting down :( We waited until he was 17 to try again! Very careful planning- short days beginning in late afternoon, then evening when it's cool and less crowded, works well! The cast members are so very kind to him, too! Good luck with the kids at your school!
This is such a great video for so many reasons. Tommy is truly an inspiring young man. I'm pretty sure I couldn't recall all the events of The Little Mermaid and do so in under 10 minutes. He's got some great parents who love him a lot. The girl who plays Ariel here is incredible. I hope she's at least stopped by this page to see the impact she's had. I wish I could get a message to her to tell her what a great thing she did. Please keep these great videos coming!
Tommy is such an amazing person it's great that the cast make him feel special the way it seems in these videos, I'm in a wheelchair due to disability so I know kinda what it's like to go through a disability but Tommy looks like a happy person and he has all the support around him he needs.
Tommy is AMAZING! This boy is really a gift. I want him to be my best friend purely so we can go to Disney together all the time. He's terrific. And what a polite guy he is, he's been raised very well. Best of luck to him in the world
I teach at a school exclusively for children with Autism. I work with 7 different students 7-10 years old. This is so inspiring to see him talking to all these different characters and hold conversations in such a busy place. He seems like a truly amazing individual and you sound like an amazing mom. Thanks for having these videos!
This video is amazing! I love watching all the disney videos with Tommy! This one especially, like all the other comments have mentioned, this actress is AMAZING. Sweet, adorable, and WOW she is beautiful! If her ambitions take her into acting, I think she would easily get into lead roles and blow away the competition. She is stunning! (and this is being said by a woman here, I just appreciate beauty when I see it!) - mary
These video's of tommy meeting the princesses are amazing. I love to see how happy he looks. I'm sure he's an amazing guy and you are an amazing mum for him! Lots of hugs from the Netherlands.
Man,that kiss Ariel just gave Tommy is amazing! If I were there,and Ariel called me handsome,that'd be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. And she will see me in a cowboy outfit(Cowboy hat,cowboy boots,cowboy shirt,and a golden Montana Silversmith buckle,either Professional Bull Riding(PBR) or not)like I'm wearing right now.
Tommy, I do not blame you, brother. I have Autism too. Autism has some special abilities that you can do absolutely do anything you want. God bless you, my brother.
the best Ariel! cudos to her for keeping the magic and listening to Tommy the whole time:).. Belle kinda made me mad though trying to interrupt but he set her straight^.^
Hi there! Great to know you guys are from Canada! I commented on one of your other videos as well, I don't know if you saw it! I could very well be going to work at the Canada pavilion at Epcot next year! If you guys are planning a trip to Walt Disney World again within the next year, I hope I'd get to meet you guys some day!
This is Tommy's mom :) Tommy has Autism. He is not blind. His dog is an Autism Assistance Dog Guide. She helps with safety, anxiety, sensory, social and other issues.
